Conroe
is located in southeastern Texas within the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land metropolitan area. It's about 40 miles north of the city of Houston. As of 2012, the population of Conroe was 61,533 residents. It's nestled in the Piney Woods Region of East Texas, and was named for Union Calvary officer and lumberman Isaac Conroe, who founded a sawmill in the area in 1881. Until the first decade of the 21st century, the town of Conroe was usually described as "a sleepy little backwater town north of Houston." In order to attract new residents, city officers offered incentives to home developers. As a result, Conroe became a "hotbed" of new construction and new residents. It also helped that Conroe is only about seven miles southeast of Lake Conroe, a popular 22,000-acre recreational lake. The lake lies on the west fork of the San Jacinto River, just west of Interstate 45, off of State Highway 105. Lake Conroe is 21 miles in length and covers 20,118 acres. About 5,000 acres lies within the Sam Houston National Forest, which offers all sorts of outdoor activities, including fishing, boating, hiking, camping, horseback riding and more. Downtown Conroe has two historic theaters, and an outdoor amphitheater offers free concerts April-September.

Southwest Texas has a humid subtropical climate with very hot summers. An average of 99 days per year reach above 90 degrees F. High humidity causes the heat index to rise even higher. Winds are often light in the summer and offer little relief from the heat. This region is often called "the most air-conditioned place on earth." Spring super cell thunderstorms sometimes bring tornadoes to the area, although it's not officially part of "Tornado Alley." Winters in southeastern Texas are mild. Snowfall is rare. The average high in January, which is the coldest month, is 63 degrees F. Average annual rainfall in this area is 50 inches. Storms dump large amounts of rain causing flash floods. Prevailing winds are from the south and southeast during most of the year, bringing heat from the deserts.
